THE INNING

The mining engineers who are
about to visit Butte, deserve the re-
ception which that hospitable city is
about to give them. They are, for
the most part, men of ability who are
in charge of extensive enterprises
which add largely to the national
prosperity. In visiting Butte, they
recognize the Importance of our MIN
eral industry, and take the best means
OF estimating its greatness and splen-
did prospects. They will meet such
men al Messrs. Clark, Daily and
Bratnober (of the Drum Lummon),
who, assembling from all parts Of
Montana, will be able to post the visi-
tors on the general Development of
our mines. We trust that the Nei-
hart Barker and Great Falls districts
will be represented at this gathering
which, strange to say, will be the first
OF the kind ever held in Montana.
The magnitude of the Butte mines
and Anaconda works would prepare
the engineers for the gratifying re-
port which might be made by our

Mr.. GLADSTONE made a strong
speech on Thursday in opposition to
the coercion bill. He said the gov
eminent did not dare lift a finger in
defense Of the suggestion that it APP
ply to England a provision such as it
was forcing upon Ireland. He con-
tended that the government was
bound to extend to the occupiers of
land in Ireland perfect equality with
English trades unions, as regards the
rights and practices enjoyed by the
latter, among which combination and
exclusive dealing we're sanctioned.
AS the bill stood, if an Irishman JOIN
ed an association it was for Balfour
to say whether or not he became a
criminal by the act. In conclusion
Mr.. Gladstone said Ireland, after
seventy years Of oppression and
wrong, was in a state of misery and
Indebtedness. In the whole British
empire there was not a square yard
of land which England held by force
alone, excepting in Ireland, where
force was employed. ireland was
held by mastery, but the government
refused to learn that the mastery in
volved responsibility. They knew
that the whole literature of the world
was against them. He challenged
the government to mention any au-
thority who had reviewed the rela-
tons between Ireland and England
without arriving at the home rule So
luton. These declaration from such
high authority as Mr.. Gladstone must
give a powerful impulse to the Irish
home rule cause. The coercion bill
will be passed, but it will only serve
to unite the Irish people more firmly
against the oppressive policy of the
Tory government.

Tried to Kill her Husband.

BUTTE, July 11.-[special to the Tri-
bunel.-To-night the wife of John H. Col,
son, n of the leading merchants of Butte
and who has charge of the plumbing de.
partment of the W. r. Kenyon Company,
created quite a sensation. About 8 o'clock,
accompanied by her little daughter, she
entered the California hotel. which was
crowded at the time, among the guests be-
ing Colson, and demanded that he accom-
pany her home. To this he demurred,
when she drew a revolver and attempted
to shoot him, hut was prevented by Under
Sheriff Reynolds, who Immediately dis
armed and arrested her. This is the cul-
mination of domestic troubles. Both are
we'll known and have many friends, who
are surprised at the unfortunate affair.

Customs, S217,4O3,9 s3; internal rev.
enue, S119, 136,447; miscellaneous,
S54, ,554. No country can show
a revenue so bountiful or a surplus SO
large as ours
IT APPEARS that their injustice to
the territories has begun to trouble
the politicians. A Washington tele
gram says: "a good many politicians
are waking up to the fact that the ter
ritories will have a voice in the next
national convention, and from this
time on the provinces can get about
what they want for the asking. 1t is
amusing to see how solicitious they
r all getting for the welfare of Da-
kota and the rest of the territories.
If the delegates from them will unite
in convention and cast twelve votes
solid they can command a vast amount
of promises if nothing else" Instead
of promises the territories should de-
mand in advance Of the conventions,
actual deeds in the shape of enabling
acts on the part of congress.

LEWIS AND CLARKE

This year has passed without any
celebration of the discovery of the
great falls by Lewis and Clarke, but
nenceforth there ought to be an an
nual festival to commemorate that re-
markable exploit. So, far Montana
has done nothing more to honor these
brave explorers than to give their
names to a county, but it will not be
always so. This city will ever retain
a vivid remembrance of their great
deeds. 1t will, in itself, serve to
make known their fame, so that those
who seek their monument, may, as in
the case of Christopher Wren, be told
to look around. But we ought not
be content with such general tributes
or ever with the annual festival. A
monument on one of our highest hills
should, like that at Bunker Hill, pro-
claim our own sense of gratefulness
to Lewis and Clarke and all others
who we're concerned in the Louisiana
purchase and its development. The
full story of the explorers exploits
should also be told in epic verse like
that Of Homer, or in classic prose such
as Prescott employed in describing
the conquest Of Mexico.

Draining the Treasury.

HELENA, July 11.-[Special to the Tri-

certificates for about 10000 squirrels and
5000 prairie dogs were presented to the
territorial auditor. Including other boun-
ty certificates, about $4,000 was paid out
during these days for bounty claims. The
squirrels are coming in from Meagher,
Fergus and Choteau counties as well as
from Gallatln, and the prairie dogs from
Lewis and Clarke and other counties.

representatives on the mineral wealth
of this region. The Butte mine own
ers who look to us for coal would also
gladly give prominence to our re-
sources in that respect. Ii the rail-
road were open, we might expect the
engineers to visit Great Falls as we'll
as Butte. As it is not open, it is our
duty to visit them.

RAILROAD PROGR S..

In the Northwestern Railroader,
some useful information is given rel
alive to the new track laid in the
first half Of this year in Minnesota.
Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington. It appears from this sum
mary that the amount is far in excess
of any previous year and that the
Manitoba line is far in advance of all
others-it has in fact laid double the
miles laid by all other companies.
The number Of miles which the com
pany has laid is 56s.7 IS and comprises
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1887-07-13

It may be seen by the above state
ment which does not include the many
miles graded in advance of the track
that this enterprising company has
eight extensions in progress and that
its operations are carried on in Da-
kota and Montana as well as in Min
nesota, which is the focus whence all
its lines radiate. As regards Great
Falls, all this progress implies that
when the Manitoba track reaches here
next fall, our city will be in close rail
road relations with the towns and
cities on a system which t%raverses the
busiest and most progressive regions
OF Minnesota and Dakota, and might
be said to have entered only on the
first stage of its development.
The entire length of track laid is
771.S2 miles. In addition to the
Manitoba track, this includes al
miles by the Northern Pacific; and
329 miles between Sioux Falls and
Mitchell, which were laid by the
Omaha. On the whole the summary
makes a splendid showing. It indi-
Gates that the northwest still takes
the lead in railroad progress as its
new track is over one-ifth Of the n
tire new main line of track construct
ed in the United States, which re-
turns show measures 1854 miles.
Were the Wisconsin track included
-as it fairly might be-the leader
ship of the northwest would be still
more manifest.

HELENA, July 11.-[special % the Tri
bune]-The Boulder Valley railroad is
now nearly all graded to a distance of so
miles from Jefferson. The track is being
laid and would have been finished to
Boulder but for the spring floods. In a
short time, however, the steel will be laid,
not only to Boulder but as far as Wickes.

BUTTE IS a plucky city. It is -four
ishing now, but according to local au-
thority it has had hard times. Six
yrars ago freight on ore and matte to
Missouri river points was S40per ton.
Building and mining timber was three
times as costly as it is now. Milling
salt cost $50 per ton for transportation
from Ogden. In 1883 copper dropped
Is per cent. In the same year the
Northern Pacific, upon which the
people had hung their hopes and re-
lief from the evils which beset them,
was built via the Helena route. In
1886 the silver market almost collaps-
ed, its market price fallin5 to 90 cents
and threatening ruin to the important
industry Of silver mining. Butte can
now afford to regard the ups and
downs of the metal market with com
placency. Her position is secure, but
of course high prices will always
cheer the miners heart.

The Insurance Accident Associations
we note are spreading considerable in
this state, especially the one in New
York and one recently formedin Chi
cago. We see that our friend DR.. Rob-
inson has been appointed surgeon for
the Union Mutual Accident Association
of Chicago, for this section of Wiscon-
sin. The cost of carrying a policy OF
$4,000 in the above company is about
$500 a year. This seems to boa Tow
rate when snoh a policy will grant a
man S25.00 per week indemnity for any
disabling injury.

We are jolly crowd of Postal Clerks
And one leaves every night.
From the blooming town of Huntington,
But, you bet, he never leaves tight.
Our boss he is prince of a good fellow,
And the boys in him take just pride,
For h stands at his case with dignity
Whenever he is elected to ride.
Then three times three for O'Connor,

He has stood the pressure well
And was never known to shirk.
Next comes Colonel Compson
Irish ard the little ranch,
And they never can be beaten
On this side of old Long Baneh.
Quite common in his manner
Outward seemingly cold,
But it is always beneath the surface
One looks for the purest gold.
Just so it is with Eddie Kurtz,
lis there you will look and find
The gems that make up a friendship
AS solid and lasting as time.
Poage is bully boy
And tough as a last years hen,
We will stay by him forever
And bet you twenty to ten.
KRONER is the masher,
Mirthful, Iight-heartes and gay,
He is dreadfully fond of ladies
At least that's what they say.
The girls all think him nice looking
And admire his bodily girt,
For he always looks so lengthy
And carries himself so straight.
